Open Source HW Panel At EE Live!

Open source hardware is causing a lot of confusion when it comes to commercial products. This panel will hopefully shed some light on the subject.

How the heck can a business be built on open source hardware? This question has graced the lips of countless people, even those who are devout followers of open source projects. It is a legitimate question, and luckily one that some people actually have some experience with.

I'll be moderating this panel on Wednesday April 2 at 3:30 p.m., and I simply can't wait. This is easily one of the parts of EE Live! that has me most excited. Even though I've seen several examples of successful businesses built on open source, it still baffles me. I hope to walk away from this panel feeling enlightened!
